Germany is like a 2 mob boss fight. Poland noob pulled by being too close. Got one shot. Belgium was a mage that got too much threat before the tank came in and pulled agro. France was likely the healer, tried to cast a heal on Belgium but it didn't help, belgium goes down, agro shifted to france which got wiped out. This whole time of course Russia was solo tanking the second boss mob (called the eastern front). Then England (a druid) started tanking and dpsing western front. And the US (warlock) and Canada (hunter) came in and started putting some heavy dps on the western front. Somehow they pull through and the western front goes down, and they all go over and help out the tank with the eastern front. Raid over. I call all the epics. Sadly since everyone wants the same epic they end up getting into a fight over it (this is called the Cold War). Oh and the warlock (US) used soulfire on japan (random additional mob) got a massive crit and one shot it.

...And Switzerland was AFK.

The battle over the Pacific was a decent run, though. It DID end in a massive Soulfire, but only after Japan had put their own DoTs on the US. Basically the US was DoTing the Western Front in Europe, and sent in their Voidwalker (Douglas MacArthur) to pull off of China (the raid's NPC guide that was getting raped).

Seriously, though. England should have bres'd someone.

Submission + - Bell proposing 'Usage Based Billing' 1

As Bell was given a last-mile monopoly in much of Canada by the government they are required to follow rules set up by the CRTC this includes leasing their lines to competitive ISPs. And they are given a directive by the CRTC to provide competitive speeds to said ISPs. Teksavvy has informed it's customers that were this to go through the current monthly cap would be quartered and the cost for exceeding it would be "multiple times more than our current per Gigabyte rate of $0.25/GB on overages". They have also helpfully included a link where you can send your comments/concerns to the CRTC directly.

Except for the case where I am the one in love. My girlfriend supports my nerdyness fully. She even wrote me a love letter in hex!

Wow.... I'm going to karma hell for this but... WTF is wrong with you Americans? Have you been SO blinded by the media and patriotism and hatred that you actually believe this? Don't be conned. The US could have stopped the trial at any point.

Hey, not all of us Americans suck THAT badly.

Some of us do realize that that Saddam's hearing was a puppet trial, and we had to go through something like three different judges before we found someone who'd mod the case the way we wanted.

The whole thing was a complete farce. The outcome of the trial was well-known before it began.

The saddest bit is that there are lots of Americans who like it that way. So much for justice and democracy in Iraq.

Suddenly, I understand Jack Thompson's opinion on why video games are evil.

...Which is why having total war is obviously a bad idea. Either you pay taxes and are an "enemy", risking getting killed when the opposition attacks your city, or you don't pay your taxes, and get thrown in jail/are killed by your own government. Seems like this would lead to genocide.

And if everyone is guilty for simply paying taxes (because people have SO much of a choice in that), then surely your explaination of how total war should work would lead to one country commiting genocide as they conquer the other.

Either way, something tells me that the soldiers didn't stop to ask each woman and child they killed if they paid taxes.

Wait, why SHOULDN'T we sign it? I fail to understand why America feels entitled to play by different rules than the rest of the world. If America believes she should have the ability to wage total war, then so should every other country.
